RESUMEN
Wild soybean (Glycine soja), the ancestor of the cultivated soybean (G. max), is a crucial resource for capturing the genetic diversity of soybean species. In this study, we used a set of 78 genome-wide microsatellite markers to analyse the genetic diversity and geographic differentiation patterns in a global collection of 2,050 G. soja accessions and a mini-core collection of G. max stored in two public seed banks. We observed a notable reduction in the genetic diversity of G. max compared with G. soja and identified a close phylogenetic relationship between G. max and a G. soja subpopulation located in central China. Furthermore, we revealed substantial genetic divergence between northern and southern subpopulations, accompanied by diminished genetic diversity in the northern subpopulations. Two clusters were discovered among the accessions from north-eastern China-one genetically close to those from South Korea and Southern Japan, and another close to those from Amur Oblast, Russia. Finally, 192 accessions were assigned to a mini-core collection of G. soja, retaining 73.8% of the alleles detected in the entire collection. This mini-core collection is accessible to those who need it, facilitating efficient evaluation and utilization of G. soja genetic resources in soybean breeding initiatives.

Several soybean (Glycine max) germplasms, such as Nishiyamahitashi 98-5 (NH), have an intense seaweed-like flavor after cooking because of their high seed S-methylmethionine (SMM) content. In this study, we compared the amounts of amino acids in the phloem sap, leaves, pods, and seeds between NH and the common soybean cultivar Fukuyutaka. This revealed a comparably higher SMM content alongside a higher free Met content in NH seeds, suggesting that the SMM-hyperaccumulation phenotype of NH soybean was related to Met metabolism in seeds. To investigate the molecular mechanism behind SMM hyperaccumulation, we examined the phenotype-associated gene locus in NH plants. Analyses of the quantitative trait loci in segregated offspring of the cross between NH and the common soybean cultivar Williams 82 indicated that one locus on chromosome 10 explains 71.4% of SMM hyperaccumulation. Subsequent fine-mapping revealed that a transposon insertion into the intron of a gene, Glyma.10g172700, is associated with the SMM-hyperaccumulation phenotype. The Glyma.10g172700-encoded recombinant protein showed Met-γ-lyase (MGL) activity in vitro, and the transposon-insertion mutation in NH efficiently suppressed Glyma.10g172700 expression in developing seeds. Exogenous administration of Met to sections of developing soybean seeds resulted in transient increases in Met levels, followed by continuous increases in SMM concentrations, which was likely caused by Met methyltransferase activity in the seeds. Accordingly, we propose that the SMM-hyperaccumulation phenotype is caused by suppressed MGL expression in developing soybean seeds, resulting in transient accumulation of Met, which is converted into SMM to avoid the harmful effects caused by excess free Met.

KEY MESSAGE: A frame shift invoked by a single-base deletion in the gene encoding a cytochrome P450 hydroxylase, CYP81E22, causes the loss of bentazon detoxification function in soybean. Bentazon is an effective herbicide in soybean cultivation applied at post-emergence stages for control of several broadleaf weeds. However, some soybean cultivars are highly sensitive to bentazon and are killed upon application. In this study, the gene related to the high sensitivity of soybean cultivars to bentazon was mapped to chromosome 16, and its location was narrowed down to a 257-kb region where three cytochrome P450 genes were located. In these genes, a single-base deletion of cytosine was detected in the coding region of Glyma.16G149300, CYP81E22, at + 1465 bp downstream from the translation start codon, leading to a frame shift in the open reading frame and creating a premature stop codon. This stop codon resulted in the loss of more than half of the P450, and consequently, the remaining molecule failed to form a functioning protein. This single-base deletion was common among the highly sensitive cultivars screened from the soybean mini-core collection and other previously reported highly sensitive cultivars. Furthermore, we screened plant lines from the targeting-induced local lesions in genomes library of the soybean cultivar Enrei based on a modelled 3D structure of CYP81E22. The lines with mutations in Glyma.16G149300 were highly sensitive to bentazon, which provides strong evidence that Glyma.16G149300 is the gene responsible for high sensitivity to bentazon.

RESUMEN
We report here an HIV-1 recombinant composed of CRF01_AE and subtype B, with a total of eight recombination breakpoints in the gag-pol and vpr-tat regions. This recombinant was identified from a Myanmarese heterosexual male in Japan and showed the chimera structure identical to recently reported CRF69_01B, detected primarily among men who have sex with men in Japan.
RESUMEN
Molecular epidemiological investigation was conducted among injecting drug users (IDUs) (n = 11) and heterosexuals (n = 15) in Kunming, Yunnan Province of China. HIV-1 genotypes were determined based on the nucleotide sequences of 2.6-kb gag-RT region. The distribution of genotypes among IDUs was as follows: CRF07_BC (5/11) and CRF08_BC (5/11); subtype B' (1/11). Similarly, a majority of Kunming heterosexuals (14/15) were infected with CRF07_BC (4/15), CRF08_BC (6 /15), or subtype B' (4/15), known to predominate among IDUs in China. This contrasts with trends in the coastal regions of China and surrounding southeastern Asian countries, where CRF01_AE predominates among heterosexuals. The heterosexual HIV-1 epidemic in Kunming thus appears to derive from the local IDU epidemic. Of note, subtype B' was the most prevalent strain among heterosexuals before 1997, while CRF07_BC and CRF08_BC became predominant in 2002, indicating a transition of HIV-1 genotype distribution between the early and the more recent samples from Kunming heterosexuals.
